The for managers who want happier, more effective teams.
“Before the Next Level One-on-Ones Course my team was resistant to being vulnerable and our one-on-ones were mainly task driven. Now, I’m more confident in running my one-on-ones with my team and our one-on-one time is spent helping them grow their career and feel good about the work they’re doing.”
Allan N., Area Director, Shake Shack

Years ago I was asked to lead a team doing work I had never personally done in an industry I was unfamiliar with. I knew I wasn’t a perfect manager, but I had been leading teams for over 30 years and felt relatively confident that my training and experience would help make it work.
I was wrong. It turned out the team had been through the ringer with their previous boss, and it became abundantly clear that they didn’t trust me. The morale on the team was awful and they had no idea what success was supposed to look like. It didn’t take long for me to realize my “tried and true” management experience was going to be put to the test. Not long after that, I could see I was failing that very test.
I knew drastic change was necessary, but though I had faced almost every professional and relational issue you can imagine, I simply couldn’t find a way to unlock to potential of this team.One day one of my team members asked if we could talk. He was struggling to make sense of his laundry list of “priorities” and wanted help clarifying how he could contribute what was vital to our team’s success.
“My team was underperforming, and I realized it was my fault.”
A switch flipped in my head.I was reminded of the other times in my career when I thought I had been completely clear with my teams, only to find out they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing. I was embarrassed by my lack of clarity and the confusion I caused my teammate.
That’s when we started down the process that would lead to the foundational philosophies and processes that are built into Uptick and are taught here in “The Next-Level One-on-Ones Course.”
After just a couple weeks I saw a dramatic turnaround and this same team member was cranking out work like I’d never seen him do it before. And because he was meeting and exceeding clear expectations, he was happier and much more confident. He was winning!
Naturally, I decided to have these one-on-ones with more people on the team. The crazy part was it kept working with each new person I met with! And though it didn’t happen over night, over time the team started to trust me – believing that I saw it as my job to help them, not to reprimand them and coerce them to produce more work in less time.
“As a newer manager of a growing team, Next Level One-on-Ones equipped me with the language, skills, and knowledge I needed to move our one-on-ones away from standard project check-in’s to higher order discussions on career growth and opportunities for improvement.”
Paul G., Director of Data Analytics, American Hospital Association
